The current principal at Scott Middle School will be the next associate superintendent of educational services at Lincoln Public Schools, starting this summer.
The district announced Tuesday that Mike Gillotti will take over the position on July 1 for Matt Larson, who is planning to retire in June.
Gillotti began his teaching career in 2005 at Lincoln North Star High School. He later served as both an instructional coordinator and associate principal there before becoming the principal at Lincoln Southwest in 2015.Ìý
From there, he became the associate superintendent of teaching and learning for Bettendorf Community School District in Iowa in 2021. He returned to LPS in 2022 and was named the interim principal at Scott in November of that year, shedding the interim tag for the 2023-2024 school year.
